Season Two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired on the WB Network from September 15th, 1997 to May 19th, 1998, spanning a total of twenty-two episodes. It was the first full season of the series. Season two sees the return of all of the season one regular cast members reprising their respective roles. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as the eponymous Buffy Summers. Nicholas Brendon plays the bufoonish buddy Xander Harris. Alyson Hannigan portrays nerdy witch girl Willow Rosenberg. Charisma Carpenter returns as the bitchy Cordelia Chase. David Boreanaz offers up a slightly different interpretation of the vampire Angel than fans saw in season one, and Anthony Stewart Head looks stoically intelligent as the British scholar Rupert Giles.
Season two brought along some new faces and some new threats. The most notable of which is James Marsters as the Billy Idol-inspired vampire Spike. Tagging along with Spike is his paramour and maker, the loopy-doopy Drusilla, who is played by Juliet Landau. Armin Shimerman becomes a rigid fixture in season two as Sunnydale High School's new principal, R. Snyder, and Giles gets a girlfriend in the form of Jenny Calendar, played by Robia La Morte. Willow also sports a new beau when she begins dating Daniel "Oz" Osbourne, who is more than just a short, soft-spoken guitar player. All that, plus an Inca mummy girl and Cibo Matto!
